Colorado State vs. Oregon State prediction

I’m here in the state of Oregon. I won’t lie. I came into this season with low expectations for Oregon State, thinking that the turnover in the first year under Jonathan Smith would be too much for the Beavers to overcome. However, aside from the loss to Oregon, Oregon State hasn’t lost anything, which doesn’t look too bad since Oregon has been pretty solid this year. Colorado State just hasn’t had it this season and I think things look bleak in Fort Collins in the long run. I’ll be on Oregon State’s side to get another big win at home.
